Report: James Ennis Agrees to Two-Year Deal with the Rockets

The Houston Rockets have agreed to a two-year deal with James Ennis, according to Yahoo's Shams Charania. Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle confirmed that the deal is for the veteran minimum and that Ennis has a player option on the second year.

After essentially losing its entire Small Forward rotation with the departures of Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute, the Rockets found themselves scrambling to replace the length, defense and shooting that Ariza and Luc brought to the table last season. James Ennis is known as a good defender and shot 36% from the three point line last season.

Until a certain Melo-drama plays itself out in Oklahoma City, Ennis is poised to replace Ariza as starting Small Forward on what hopes to be another championship contending team.
